This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:

L.S. - Trinidad and Tobago

Teaching VocabHarris and Hodges (1995) describe vocabulary as all the words of a language. A more explicit definition is given by Neuman and Dwyer (2009), referred to by Bintz (2011), who stated that vocabulary is:
the words we must know to communicate effectively: words in speaking (expressive vocabulary) and words in listening
(receptive vocabulary).
Mei-fang (2008) suggests that if language structures make up the skeleton of language, then it is vocabulary that provides the vital organs and the flesh. An ability to manipulate grammatical structures does not have any potential for expressing meaning unless words are used. Therefore, the reality is that vocabulary is an extremely vital component of any language. Vocabulary makes a language thick and rich.
Research has found that despite the importance of vocabulary teachers do not devote sufficient time and effort toward the teaching of vocabulary. Focus has been on the acquisition of grammatical knowledge.
Nisbet (2010) explains that english as a second language (ESL) teachers and students have long recognized the importance of vocabulary development as a foundation for second language reading. This finding is supported by Hyso and Tabaku (2011) who

recognised the close relationship between vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension. Hyso and Tabaku (2011) referred to Nagy (1977) and Nation (1990) who found that vocabulary knowledge is fundamental to comprehending text and plays a great role as a predictor of overall reading ability. Having rich vocabulary knowledge is a key element to better reading comprehension (Hudson, 2007).
Nam (2010) states that in the ESL context, vocabulary not only supports the four language skills, listening, speaking, reading and writing, but also mediates between ESL students and content-area classes in that these students often find that lack of vocabulary knowledge is an obstacle to learning.
Despite the importance of vocabulary in the ESL structure A’lipour and Ketabi (2010) cited Scott, Jamieson-Noel and Asselin (2003) who lamented the fact that many english as a foreign language (EFL) teachers dedicate little of their class time to vocabulary instruction.
Nagy (1988) and Balchowicz and Fisher (2002) have found that teachers who devote time to vocabulary instruction often use strategies that fail to increase students’ vocabulary and comprehension abilities. Most of the EFL classes tend to be boring and consist

of mechanical repetition and drills which were in vogue long ago. This is supported by Yip and Kwan (2006) who suggest that vocabulary learning is often perceived as boring by learners, especially for those who grew up in the digital age. Yip and Kwan (2006) referred to Nguyen and Khuat (2003) who said that learners find vocabulary learning boring as they have to memorize unfamiliar words and spelling and are typically asked to complete lots of exercises.
Given the importance of vocabulary learning and the fact that classes are not motivating or interesting, the onus is on teachers to find new ways of teaching vocabulary in the EFL/ESL classroom.
Yip and Kwan (2006) recommended that online vocabulary games be used. In order to alleviate the problem of vocabulary teaching computer-assisted language learning (CALL) often use multimedia to engage learners more in the learning process. Prensky (2011) listed twelve (12) elements as to why games engage people, some of these are:
? Games motivate players (to achieve goals)
? Gratify the ego (when winning)
? Are fun (through enjoyment and pleasure)
? Spark the players’ creativity (to solve the game)
Games can be used with learners of all ages but according to Foreman, Hertz, Hinricks, Prensky and Sawyer (1996) they are particularly favoured

by young learners.
Other strategies can be used to liven up the teaching of vocabulary so that students are engaged, remain on task and enjoy the lesson in the process. Nam (2010) recommends the use of target vocabulary items with their corresponding pictured and L1 items. However, this researcher feels that the use of the L1 should not be encouraged in the EFL/ESL classroom. Therefore, this method can be used with pictures and words only. An example of the use of target vocabulary and pictures is illustrated below.
HEN COCK/ROOSTER BABY CHICKEN
Other strategies suggested by Nam (2010) are:
? the Fill in Task/Gap fill exercises
? post-reading comprehension task
? reading and retelling task
? work matching exercises
? crossword puzzles.
The above strategies can be used with students of all ages and this researcher would add the use of word searches which target specific content area topics.
Ketabi (2010) has suggested the use of card games to help make vocabulary classes more interesting and enjoyable. Lee (1979) has outlined several card games which can be used to achieve specific teaching objectives. One example is the use of flashcard games to help students with word recognition; another one is Word Snap which helps

students to identify words which they have difficulty recognizing and spelling skills are also developed.
This paper cannot address all of the factors involved in vocabulary teaching and learning. However, an effort has been made to show the importance of vocabulary teaching and learning in the EFL/ESL classroom. Several strategies have been identified which can be used to make the lessons more interesting for all types of learners, adults, adolescents and young children, regardless of their level.
EFL/ESL teachers have a responsibility to ensure that no aspect of english is sidelined, but rather adopt a holistic approach in terms of valuing the language and transfer this passion to the EFL/ESL students.

The American Language Center of Rabat, a member of the American Cultural Association of Morocco, has been serving the community for over 50 years and has regular opportunities for TEFL qualified teachers. Located in Hassan, Rabat, we are the only American Language Center in the province of Rabat. A Moroccan-based, non-profit organization, ALC is funded solely by tuition and operates independently from any government affiliation or subsidy. ALC is the first choice for learners of English, serving over 16,000 language learners in Rabat-Salé each year. Our facilities in Hassan include 28 modern and comfortable classrooms, seminar and activity spaces, a bookstore and garden.

Teachers at the American Language Center are dedicated and collegial professionals, with their students as their first interest. All teachers at the ALC should possess at least a Bachelor's degree and should be certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL/TESOL), from a face-to-face certification course of at least 120 contact hours, including a practice teaching component and reflective feedback.

Native-speaking teachers from other countries should have a keen interest in living in Morocco, some knowledge of Moroccan culture, and should articulate their interest in living in Morocco in their cover letter (see below). Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate emotional intelligence, as well as an ability to thrive in an international setting and invest more than one year teaching at ALC.

Full-time teachers at ALC usually have 18-22 contact hours per week during our main terms, teaching students of all ages, including young learners. Work is mainly English teaching in the classroom, but may include facilitating activities, serving as a program coordinator, or assisting with other administrative projects. Most teaching takes place on weekday afternoons, evenings and on weekends. Teachers new to Morocco are asked to arrive in advance of the term with time to find housing and participate in orientation and training. All new teachers are required to attend the orientation program prior to their first term teaching. Temporary housing is provided upon arrival, and new teachers are also mentored throughout their first term.

In addition to the basic salary, all teachers are offered medical insurance for a modest fee, which covers 80% of most medical, dental and eye expenses, as well as medications. Other benefits include paid sick time (full-time teachers receive 30 hours of sick pay per year), vacation pay, and free ongoing instruction in Moroccan Dialect, Standard Arabic, or French. Foreign nationals are offered modest housing and travel allowances to help offset expenses. Support for professional development is provided in the form of mentoring for new teachers, free training, regular workshops, a free trip to the annual All-ALC TEFL Conference, and ability to apply for sponsorship to attend the IATEFL Annual Conference in the UK. Finally, free internet/e-mail access and a discount at the ALC Rabat bookstore are provided.

1) a CV / resume in PDF format;2) a scanned JPEG or PDF copy of the name/photo page of your passport;3) a carefully composed letter in PDF format telling us about yourself, including why you would like to teach at the ALC and live in Morocco;4) letters of reference in PDF format (university and/or job references, including your last job;5) a scanned JPEG or PDF copy of your university diploma(s) and TESOL/TEFL certificate. (It is not necessary to include copies of Certificates of Attendance for workshops and seminars.)

These can be submitted by email to the above address, or if candidates are local, at the ALC reception desk in the main office. Skype interviews are arranged when an in-person interview is not possible. Applicants hired locally will be asked to teach a short demonstration lesson (30-45 minutes).

Recruitment normally takes place during the spring for the academic year that begins the following autumn. However, you are free to apply at any time, as there may be a need for qualified teachers at other times of the year. We regret that we are not able to respond to every inquiry, but will strive to do so for all qualified candidates.

Foreign candidates should arrive with a criminal history background report certified no more than 60 days before arrival date, as well as original teaching certificate(s) and university diploma(s). University transcripts are not necessary. Americans may obtain a 90-day tourist visa on arrival, but other nationals should inquire prior to arrival.

Volunteering as a teacher in Belize with Projects Abroad is a great way to gain practical TEFL work experience while giving back. You do not need to have any previous teaching experience to participate. As a volunteer, you will have a positive impact on the lives of the children you teach, whether you are a gap year student, career breaker, or simply looking for a meaningful way to contribute during a vacation.

The educational system in Belize is based on the British system, and education is compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 14. Although primary education is free, there are a large percentage of children who are not receiving an education because of the cost of related expenses, such as uniforms and books. Volunteers are needed to help support these children, improve literacy levels, and give them the skills and education they need to build a sustainable future.

The official language in Belize is English, so your main role as an English teacher will be to help children build on their reading, writing, and comprehension abilities. You will also be able to teach a variety of other subjects.

Projects Abroad volunteers work in elementary and junior/high schools in San Pedro. The children are aged from about 6 to 17 years old. Your exact role in the classroom will depend on your level of experience and confidence. You may be assisting the local teacher, working with small groups on conversational English, or you could be asked to take the whole lesson. Other tasks may include helping the children who are struggling with their homework, and running one-on-one sessions with the children who need help with their numeracy and literacy skills.

Local staff will be eager to have you be involved in teaching other subjects and organising extra-curricular activities. Depending on your skills and interests, you could teach subjects such as maths, science, art, drama, music, physical education, and more. Please let us know if you are interested in any particular areas.

As a volunteer on the Teaching project, the impact you have on the lives of the children you work with will reach beyond your time at the placement. You will also be part of a much wider volunteer network, which is making a hugely positive contribution to the communities in which we work.

Whatever talents or skills you have, teaching in Belize will give you the opportunity to put them to good use and make a difference. You can be creative with your teaching to make learning fun. Engaging the children through the use of games and songs will help to make them excited to learn.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH WORK:For those who are interested, there are also other general project activities you can get involved in, which are open to all our volunteers based in San Pedro. These include:

• Walking the animals at the SAGA Humane Society and providing them with care and attention• Supporting a Girls’ Club that tackles self-esteem issues, bullying, and other topics related to adolescent girls • Supporting a Boy’s Group that tackles issues of respect, bullying, and other topics related to adolescent boys• Re-usable bag and straw campaign to reduce the amount of plastic used on the island• Mural painting in schools

We also arrange Community Days for our volunteers. These may involve:

• Cleaning and revamping parks • Participating in beach and community clean-ups • Taking part in community movie nights

This placement is fully researched, safety audited and risk assessed in accordance with the British Standard BS8848 for the Adventure Travel Sector.
